LOVE AND TIME by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: I SAID, LOVE LAUGHS AT TIME
Last Line: WE WILL HAVE LIVED -- LONG YEARS THAT SEEMED AS ONE!
Subject(s): LOVE; TIME;
I SAID, "Love laughs at Time," before I knew
The perfect joy of wholly loving you;
So swift the days went hurrying to that Day
When we were one -- Love swept us on the way.

But now -- Time laughs at Love; for swifter yet
Speed years that seem as hours! The sun will set,
The final curtain fall, our lives be done;
We will have lived -- long years that seemed as one!
